LA PLUME, Penn. (April 7, 2025) – The Rutgers University-Camden baseball team used three-run rallies in both the seventh and eighth innings here Monday as it edged Keystone College, 8-6, in a battle of two teams that have been among the top programs in the country this season.
 
The Scarlet Raptors improved to 18-8, while the Giants fell to 15-6.
 
Keystone, which has been ranked as high as 23rd in the D3baseball.com Top 25 poll and 28th in the ABCA Top 30 poll this season, entered this game receiving votes toward both polls. In the most recent poll, the Giants had 38 votes toward the ABCA poll and 11 toward the D3baseball.com poll.
 
Rutgers-Camden received 53 votes in the most recent ABCA poll and 27 in the latest D3baseball.com poll. Earlier in the year, the Scarlet Raptors were ranked as high as 25th and 19th, respectively, in those polls.
 
The two teams were deadlocked in a 2-2 tie entering the top of the seventh inning, when Rutgers-Camden took the lead for good with three runs on five walks, a sacrifice fly and an RBI single by senior third baseman Ryan Nutley. Graduate designated hitter Jack Murphy delivered the sacrifice fly and sophomore right fielder Brandon Petrick plated the final run with an RBI walk.
 
In the top of the eighth inning, Murphy ripped a bases-clearing double to make it an 8-3 game. Keystone scored its final three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
 
Sophomore Sean Glenn earned the win to raise his record to 2-0, only three days after earning his first collegiate win. Glenn worked two hitless innings, allowing two hit batsmen and one earned run. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter.
 
Sophomore D.J. Juliano entered the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with three runs home and the tying run at the plate. He struck out his lone batter to earn his first collegiate save.
 
Nutley and Murphy both went 2-for-4 for the Scarlet Raptors, with Murphy driving home four runs, while Nutley added one run and one RBI. Senior center fielder Steven Shaffer went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs and one RBI. Sophomore shortstop Austin Dubler went 1-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored and two stolen bases, while freshman catcher Mason Blizzard walked twice and scored two runs.
 
Rutgers-Camden returns to action Thursday with a key New Jersey Athletic Conference game against Rowan University. The 3:30 p.m. contest in Camden is the first game of a two-day home-and-home series with the Profs.
